What annoys you most when playing online poker?

[Lena M]

I agree. It's annoying, especially when I'm playing at only one table. Opponents come in all shapes and sizes: angry, stupid, and just plain mean.

Being a bit contrarian on the slow-play thing - iPoker rooms have an angry, watch-tapping avatar you can use to vent at slow players. People who deploy that avatar when someone's 'tanked' for a whole five seconds irritate me even more than genuinely slow players.
But the absolute daddy of pet peeves -- the attention-seekers who insist on showing us what they folded once the hand's dead. Literally no one cares. I'd like a sniper avatar for those people...

Connection problems on the pokersite and even getting disconnected while my own internet connection is just fine (WPT Global most often)

Slow players and disconnects.

Personally, I find it annoying when an opponent thinks about a move for a long time, using up all the time he is allowed to do so. And when he does it regularly. It definitely prolongs the game when there are, for example, 9 players at the table and 5-7 players do just that.

In general, I don't pay attention if my opponent does something deliberately to annoy me. I just ignore it and try to focus only on my game and my decisions.

When people Disconnect and wasting time again and again

I don't care how long my opponent thinks. He can think as long as the rules allow him to. No more. That's why I'm ready for such cases and don't pay attention to slow-thinking players.

Yeah, I get where you’re coming from. Stalling can be really frustrating when it feels like someone is dragging every hand just for the sake of it. I don’t mind if a player takes their time in a genuinely tough spot — that’s part of the game — but when it happens every single hand, it kills the flow. What tilts me the most though are the “any two cards” players who shove constantly. It can feel like pure madness, but I guess that’s part of online poker too: adjusting to all kinds of personalities at the table. In a way, the annoyance is also the challenge — staying focused while others are trying to get under your skin.

For me, the most annoying thing is when players slow-roll or act ridiculously tanky without reason. It kills the flow of the game and can be super frustrating, especially during a long session. Also, connection issues or misclicks at critical moments are a nightmare.

I usually play at 3-4 tables at a time, if not more. So, if someone wants to take their time at a table, let them. I won’t be worried - lol. I still got the remaining tables to look at..

In my case though, the in-App glitches/ internet downtime would be miserable.

People that plays all in on every hand and ending winning important pots with loose hands

What annoys me the most are the constant bad beats, especially when I make the right move and still lose to a lucky river. Another thing that really bothers me is players who take forever to act on every single hand, wasting time unnecessarily. It breaks the rhythm of the game and makes the experience much less enjoyable.

[ninocabral]

It really irritates me when the internet is slow or keeps dropping, it's very stressful and it discourages me from playing even if I've already bought in.

If I know someone is getting tilted from me using up all of my time I will deliberately do that every hand

 

[perrywh]

Players that make stupid moves! You call and see they have nothing but AK and they hit the ace and put you out!
